Stronger from Earth-Chapter 59: Storage Celestial Treasure

Demonized creatures are the general term used by Demon Immortals for the creatures formed under the special environment of the Abyss Mountain. Originally normal animals, they are infected by Demonic Qi, lose their sanity, and develop an instinct to evolve, resulting in bloodthirsty killing.

Due to Demonic Qi taking the lead and strengthening their bodies, their physiques are much stronger than other creatures, and their power and defense far exceed what they were before being demonized.

"Then we can only kill them."

Wang Xuan is highly sensitive to the words Demonic Qi. In the past, he was infected by Demonic Qi and had been fighting against it by using the essence of blood and Qi in his Flesh Body to eliminate it.

Ultimately, he did not become a demonized creature, but for a long period of time, his temper was indeed filled with Demon Nature, even making him increasingly violent. Were it not for Elder He, Chen Qingniu’s master, who transformed him completely, he still wouldn’t be able to escape the consequences of Demonic Qi infection.

If one loses their sanity and humanity is gone, even if they have a human form, they cannot be called human anymore.

"Do you have a blade? Preferably very sharp, I want to dissect it." Wang Xuan asked Tu Yingying. She reached into the groove on her chest and a large saber, four feet long, appeared.

"Storage Magical Treasure?" Wang Xuan questioned.

"It’s Storage Celestial Treasure. To refine storage-type magical treasures, a True Immortal must step in; Celestial Immortals can’t do it. Such treasures are far more precious than Storage Celestial Treasures," Tu Yingying explained, lifting a necklace with her delicate jade hand and pulling out a pendant from the bottomless crevice.

"That ginseng was taken out from it. It’s considered an Immortal Elixir. I can give you one, seeing you’re in need of this kind of thing." Tu Yingying glanced at Wang Xuan, remembering his regretful look as he desperately shook her fox-like body.

Wang Xuan shook his head: "Undeserved rewards cannot be accepted."

"Is my life not worth even such a thing?" Tu Yingying’s beautiful eyes stared at him, questioning.

"Of course, it is."

"Then take it." Tu Yingying took out a ginseng, surrounded by Immortal Spirit Qi, exuding a medicinal fragrance, evidently an extraordinary item, no less than an Immortal Elixir.

"By the way, that blade in your hand is also yours now. Thank you for taking care of me these days; it helped me recover quickly." Tu Yingying expressed her gratitude.

Wang Xuan looked at the saber in his hand, covered in strange patterns with a trace of Dao charm. He easily recognized it as a Celestial Treasure.

"Then I’ll accept it." He accepted the items, and Tu Yingying’s heart was at ease. Otherwise, she’d feel uncomfortable owing him this favor.

Accepting a gift is also meaningful for others.

"Seems like you’re quite the little wealthy lady, carrying quite a bit." Wang Xuan laughed. "If you have any spare items, feel free to give them to me."

Tu Yingying looked at the items in the Storage Space and spoke while surveying them: "The territory occupied by the Demon Race is no less than that of humans, but those with intelligence are ultimately limited. Hence, there are more Celestial Treasures. Every Demon Immortal carries a few.

Moreover, I have many elders, and quite a few Celestial Treasures were gifts. Some human factions even trade with us, exchanging cultivation resources for Celestial Treasures."

"Are Storage Celestial Treasures very precious?" Wang Xuan asked.

Tu Yingying shook her head: "Not particularly precious. In fact, this type of Celestial Treasure is the most abundant because fragmented spaces scattered from devoured worlds often form Storage Celestial Treasures easily."

"Then give me a Storage Celestial Treasure. I won’t accept this Immortal-grade ginseng; keep it for yourself." Wang Xuan said.

Once refined, this ginseng can be converted into a large amount of Inner Strength, saving two to three thousand points of Source Power. However, using the Violent Dragon Potion is equivalent for him, costing only a few million.

"Alright." Tu Yingying nodded, then spat out a pendant from her mouth and handed it to Wang Xuan, "By using Inner Strength in combination with Blood Refining, you can open the space inside, but it will consume some Essence Qi and Spiritual Power, so with your strength, you can’t open it frequently every day."

Wang Xuan accepted it and then began dissecting the demonized savage.

The Celestial Treasure Long Saber was indeed sharp; he used only two parts of force to cut open the skin, far beyond what his previous blade could match, and counted as a Divine Weapon.

After cutting it open, he discovered that the savage’s internal structure was already different from humans. The blood was dark, and the muscles were connected by numerous root-like thin lines, densely packed like tunnels within an ant nest.

The internal organs were the same; some organs had disappeared, and one heart was particularly large, wrapped by the dense root-like tendrils, its appearance resembling a demon.

Once the root tendrils were cut, they writhed towards the surrounding area, reconnected within minutes, eventually reintegrating into the tendril system.

The savage’s skin, sliced off by Wang Xuan, swiftly writhed and closed visibly, leaving only a blood line within ten minutes, its regenerative ability being beyond imagination.

"Increasingly resembling demons from Hell." Tu Yingying frowned.

Once understanding was sufficient, Wang Xuan stopped tormenting the unfortunate savage. When its wounds healed, he chopped off the savage’s head.

To his astonishment, the savage did not die even in this state; its eyes turned, indicating that the head and body had a connection, with blood tendrils growing continuously towards the body.

Ultimately, the savage wasn’t too monstrous; after the blood tendrils grew twenty centimeters, the head lost its vitality due to the decline of Flesh Activity.

"If we reattach the head within a few minutes after severing, he’d surely survive; truly a creature from Hell," Wang Xuan remarked.

Tu Yingying invoked a Spiritual Fire to burn the savage’s body to ashes. She knew a lot about and had many speculations regarding the Abyss Mountain; there might be a space crack or even a Gate of the World leading to another powerful world.

It was time for her to return to the family.

"You’re going back, aren’t you?" Wang Xuan asked. He had inferred that when Tu Yingying gifted him the Celestial Treasure, but both remained unspoken.

"It’s time to return." Tu Yingying nodded.

"Then go ahead. I’m heading back to Jiangyou Province in a few days."

"Do you have a contact? I go online as well; I usually like playing online." Tu Yingying said, realizing that the human network covers the globe. Demon Immortals, with high intelligence, have their own cities and buy many technological products. For some human factions, trading for Celestial Treasures makes this easy.

Wang Xuan was already considered a friend in her heart, her human friend. When he’s old and near death, she’d surely visit him.

"Alright."

The needle-leaved forests towering like pine towers were beautiful, growing in large patches, appearing orderly without any sense of chaos.

The two strolled within, having known each other for days, sharing some amusing moments. Alas, humans and demons are different species, and there were many gaps between them.

"Who knows when we’ll meet again next, probably a long time from now. By then, you and I will have changed greatly, making encounters challenging, leaving little time to communicate. I’ll wish you a smooth journey, soon breaking through to become an exalted Demon Saint, Miss Yingying, take care."

"Then, I... You take care too."

In an instant, Wang Xuan watched Tu Yingying transform into a shooting star, leaving in a particularly graceful and unrestrained manner.

Once again alone, Wang Xuan searched the savage’s old lair but found nothing good, then set off for the journey back.

Along the way, he refined the Storage Celestial Treasure, which took two days until he discovered the twenty-something cubic space inside.

Once he could skillfully open and close it, placing his items inside, he concluded his journey in the White Frost Cold Plain.

"It’s time to head back; when I left, I was at the Peak of Skin Refining, but now I’ve crossed the Bone Refining Realm, reached the Peak of Organ Refining, and my combat power has surpassed Bone Marrow Refining Cultivators, comparable to ordinary Blood Exchange Cultivators.

Upon returning, surely many will be astounded."

Wang Xuan journeyed with full effort, and upon reaching Hunting City, he greeted the members of the Greedy Wolf Hunting Team, disguised his appearance, minimized his stature, and traveled to other cities, then switched to using transportation.

Going around in circles, he concealed his whereabouts and was on his way home again, seated on a vacuum maglev train.

In just over ten hours, he would arrive at Yuzhang City in Jiangyou Province.
